We have a winner! I'd come to Brittany to view Neolithic stone monuments, so it is fitting that the winner of the "Where the @#%!^! is Detectives Beyond Borders?" contest is from another region rich in such monuments: Wiltshire, in England.

Amanda, you may not have got the joke, but you get the book. E-mail me at detectivesbeyondborders (at) earthlink (dot) net, and let me know where you'd like the book sent. Congratulations. You won a fine book.
